I was abused as an infant. Also smothered. My grandmother was trying to stop my crying. I was taken and adopted out after all the abuse. I think the boyfriend should be in prison, too. He got away with it. There's never a reason to get violent with a child.
I’m so sorry. Anyone who lays a hand on a child is the worst form of human garbage. I hope you have good support systems since, no matter our strength, years of therapy, resilience, etc, the pain of knowing the people who should have loved you the most treated you the worst has a way of creeping back up. One reason why child abuse is so insidious. You never deserved what happened to you. They are monsters. Live your best life because you DO deserve that. Take care of yourself. Again, my heart goes out to you.

Unrelated to this story, but my mother worked in a hospital where a traumatised rape victim was convinced that an evil spirit raped her. Her brain was trying to protect her from the reality and truth of her situation. My mother said that it was the most heartbreaking thing because both the nurse and a forensic investigator had to tell her that it was a human monster who did this to her, and her brain was still trying to protect her because she was arguing and saying that it was an evil spirit.
It's really sad that she experienced what she did. But her reaction is also very interesting. I wonder if she grew up in an unusually religious household/family. Or no?
@@hhealy7199I believe most religious upbringings make the belief in supernatural/paranormal events seem reasonable to the person. "I don't know therefore xyz" etc. During that time so much was still unanswered by science, but also scientific advancements were being made fast. So I believe that's why tons of researchers were all over that stuff. They had a means of collecting actual evidence from these claimed events, extraordinary claims that people believed much more up to that point in time.
Sounds like they are both responsible for her death. Maybe he delivered the final blow but Christina sure wasn't in any hurry to seek help for her and she was physically abusive to her. Poor child didn't stand a chance.
Some people don't realize how blessed they are to have a little angel running around and bringing light and joy into their life. I don't know what kind of evil would ever want to harm a baby. It makes me sad to hear stories like this because I know that it happens far more than the mention of this case.
That's horrible and disgusting treating a child like that. Regardless of how badly they are behaving or how annoying they are, they're just kids and don't know any better. It's worse if it's the parents that abuse them. It make me shudder inside.
Ultimately, she was the mother. Single custodial parent. That baby depended on her to be her most fierce protector, but she not only failed her miserably, she abused her. She’s guilty.
Spanking her for walking in on that P video?? Yea..thats abuse (just one of many). She shouldn't have even been there. Taking her there in the first place was abuse. No telling what that baby saw in her few short years. @@RiggClem_14

Seems to me that David was most likely the one who delivered the fatal blow(s), however, I still think Christina was guilty by association... as well as guilty of her own neglect and abuse toward Amber. I find it highly suspect that in the days leading up to Amber's death, David kept on coming up with excuses to explain different injuries Amber had received, such as "she fell on the sidewalk," and then the very next day, she "fell down the stairs." That sounds to me like he was being physically abusive and merely coming up with random excuses to cover it up. But, the fact that Christina was either A) buying these terrible excuses, or B) ignoring the excuses created a situation in which Amber's abuse was allowed to continue until it was inevitably taken too far. They both should have been locked up for life, in my opinion. Poor Amber. She deserved a loving and caring family and, unfortunately, she got stuck with a couple of spineless, indigent wackjobs instead. Rest in peace, little one.
I did question the "she fell" excuses. They are classic abuser lies. It's also interesting that the medical examiner says that Amber would have shown signs of an issue withing 15-30 minutes, but it also says online that a concussion can take 24-72 hours to show symptoms.

Dr GRANDE... LOVE YOUR ANALYSIS AND THOUGHTS AS USUAL!! YOU ALWAYS GENERATE amusement with your dry humor... On the more serious side. RIP Amber.. Rest in heaven.. 🙏❤️
Spot on Dr Grande. Great analysis. In my opinion another key aspect of this case is the entertainment industry's increasing reliance on "legal crusading" as the hook in true crime documentaries. Everyone seems to be looking for the next bombshell "The Thin Blue Line" or "Paradise Lost" but more often than not their advocacy seems misplaced. Especially when filmmakers are making calculated decisions about what to omit and what to include to drive their narrative. This isn't the right case to be protesting a conviction.
1 thing Dr grande left out. Her brother went on to serve time for other sex crimes and eventually killed himself. I think in prison. I think the brother was the Resche's biological son so they did not want to believe he was a sexual predator in any way. Christina was just an adopted kid. But obviously the brother was a sexual predator if later on other women/girls also accused him of rape, molestation, etc
@@tayba1316 I just watched a report on a news channel of a mother who took her own life just days after having her twins. Postpartum depression and psychosis is very real, and it is heartbreaking for all parties involved. This is why I think that more should be done to prevent such tragedies from occurring. It is devastating to learn that another mother didn't get the help that she desperately needed. The symptoms are often overlooked and women are often shamed into believing that they have no right to seek help when they have 'baby blues'.
Grande! Hope you had a nice weekend. Thank you for the time you put into these vids. You are the equivalent of a marathon runner. Videos nearly every day!
My thoughts exactly while watching the docu-series. It doesn’t really matter that she might not have delivered the fatal blow because she was involved in felony child abuse.
If criminals that are about to be caught, would not have hope left once caught, a lot of them would kill and kill and kill, just to stay free. No extra murder would make a difference to their fate, unless they manage to escape, so extra murders only increase their chances of happiness. So it is dangerous for society to have laws that puts criminals in that position.
That and sometimes the state doesn't have a slam dunk case. A plea deal is a way to make sure a jury doesn't let them off easy. It also saves lots of public money. What makes me mad is when they have plenty of evidence but do a very lenient plea..
That poor little girl. This case is a very tricky one and the start of it all was the flying phone “powers” that Christine supposedly had. It seems to me that she just wanted attention and notoriety, but she ended up taking her life in a direction that completely wrecked it and ended up destroying her own daughter because of who Christine became involved with. I just don’t understand cases like this. Christine’s adoptive parents should have NEVER let her go with the investigative team because it seems that it gave her leeway and complete independence that she was definitely not old enough to handle yet. She got a taste of that freedom and her life did nothing but go downhill after that. She has left a trail of destruction behind her that grows longer as she remains locked up in prison. Her family is forever broken and shamed by it all and that is why the destruction continues. What a VERY sad and tricky case.
She probably should have given her child up for adoption early on. Many factors nobody gets to control played a part in Christina Boyer's decision to keep Amber; and most of those factors were not in Amber's best interest. Christina Boyer was not aware she was doing the wrong thing by harming her child so badly.
Thanks again! I always enjoy your videos and appreciate the insight you bring to the matter at hand. You're quite helpful in keeping one up to date on important current affairs. Your wry wit is a delightful bonus! Congratulations on your wedding anniversary and thanks for sharing a peek into your personal life!
Could you analyze the case of Charles Cullen? Just saw the movie The Good Nurse and the case is crazy and complex. You never fail to produce insightful videos even when it comes to cases that seem to crazy to be true
Yes, that's an interesting case. He got away with it for so long, hopping from hospital to hospital. I work at the same hospital he did in NJ. Even all these years later, it's still talked about. Spooky..
@@elizabethhamm5320 Yes, they knew, but just let him go because they didn't want the bad publicity for their hospitals. Hospital administration is worse than politics, because nobody's there to 'check' them.
Greetings Dr. Grande. I could live the rest of my life without cases involving children and unfit parents, except for your presence and your variety of content videos. Thank you.
Well, it matters who delivered the fatal blow because the boyfriend was allowed to get out of prison after 20 years. He should be there for life if he delivered the blow, which I think he did. Let's also not forget that abused women will often cover for their abusers and can be afraid to leave.
@It-is-me...Melsie Seems like you're the one making excuses for a child abuser. Law enforcement suspects that the boyfriend delivered the fatal blow given Amber had been in his care for like 6 hours and her injuries would only take 15-30 minutes to cause symptoms. He hardly would have a right to feel jaded.
I literally finished the documentary this morning and when I saw the videos of her taking that little girl to a man’s house that videotaped their adult activities and Amber being present at the time floored me. Amber appears in the videos, walking around, jumping on the bed. Up until that point I could sort of be on her side…albeit with the teensiest thread of sympathy. But seeing that and how she interacted with that child during the “adult activities” time I believe wholeheartedly she is a sociopath and a cold, calloused human being. She knew full well what was going on with that child. She was part of the abu*e and left that baby with the other person involved in the abu*e.
Excellent as always, this case is absolutely unbelievable. The lengths some will go to to deceive and manipulate will never cease to amaze me! Hope you had a lovely anniversary 😊
Always makes me a rad suspicious when people contact newspapers about things instead of appropriate authorities. As for being guilty regarding her child? That’s it! Two words ! ‘Her child’. She is responsible , she left her child there m it can’t have Ben jsut one of them. If it was, she’s guilty of leaving her child in danger. And she rings someone else instead of 000. Pathetic and it sounds guilty. Whatever, a child is dead because of her actions. Poor, dear child 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Christina pulling over on the way to the hospital is a clear indicator. She was worried about herself that would do it for me that would be enough to convict right there.
Not taking away from Dr Grande, but a lot of people dont realize the importance and benefits of having a community. If he is ever unsure what to cover next, he just has to listen to his comments/suggestions for wild or obscure cases. And in this case, it was probly the recent series on it that made him cover it
I think David did it. She probably spanked and was mean to her daughter, but the boyfriend was the one who beat her to death. It's messed up that he was released at all.
That's my feeling too. I think the prison sentences were backwards. Christina likely needed 20 years for cruelty to a child and David should still be in prison.
The smug Georgetown students in the documentary questioning the authorities with YEARS of experience was laughable. I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes at them.
@@katherinehollingsworth3767how? They only asked him one question 🙄 and it was about statements he made. In the past he is blaming the man for her death but at her parole statements all the sudden there is no doubt in his mind she was 100% responsible. She should have gotten his sentence and he should be serving for murder. Mod mentally really clogs ppl assessments of situations.
They asked good questions. Years of experience doesn't always mean someone is correct. Ppl make mistakes. Ever heard of a book called Lucky by Alice Sebold. Those ppl swore up and down they got it right surprise when DNA completely exonerated him years later. Ever heard of the Innocence project? Years of experience doesn't not mean you always get things right. They asked good questions. Even the old D.A. admitted they did, and made him think.

Whether she killed her child or the guy did, either way she is responsible for the child's demise. Her punishment is deserved for putting her child in that situation and state.
Dr Grande, when I heard you say, "The ability to convert emotions into electricity would be quite convenient these days".... I laughed so hard...then I got the giggles... then when I thought I could take you off pause.. I would start laughing again... then I would try to carry on... I got the giggles like I used to in grade school. When you know you are going to get sent to the principal's office if you don't control your "emotions". 🤣 After about a straight 7+ minutes of giggling, I felt so happy, and realized what a fabulous therapist you are. 🤯🫶😆 Just what I needed was a good dose of true crime & laughter. You're the best Dr Grande! Love these cases that you find that kind of fly under the radar. Thanks!
Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about what could be happening when a poltergeist frames a young woman for murder like this.
There’s nights that I feel so guilty for being snippy with my daughter. I have days when I’m overwhelmed with work, house, childcare, bills and having some heart issues, and nights I don’t sleep well. I feel so awful sometimes for feeling like there’s days when we didn’t go out to do something or because I was distracted or was snippy with her. I cannot believe someone would willingly hurt their own child. It’s genuinely beyond anything I could ever imagine. That poor girls entire existence must’ve been horrible.
I love to come here and see your take on it because you state the facts. I knew I smelled a stinker when I saw the preview for the documentary. I think: she is a child that incurred something at a young age (my aunt was a foster parent) because even before 2 yrs. of age it can imprint on a child - so I think she is covert narcissist because of the manipulation. And need for attention. And she is getting a lot because of the doc so even if she doesn't get out she is still having a high time just because a movie is being made about her. It's atrocious. Poor Amber. ❤
Regarding the little girl walking in on her adult filming, my understanding is that according to law, that constitutes (loosely speaking) 'underage porn', even though she (thankfully!) wasn't an active participant. Although that could be seen as something of an accident without malicious intent, said section of the video should have been immediately deleted, never mentioned and steps should have been taken to see that never happened again.
Christina set a poor example to her man by battering her child in front of him. He may have felt it was OK to treat Amber harshly as well. Statistically the boyfriend/stepfather is often responsible for injuries to the woman's children.
There's a long tradition of crime documentaries that omit inculpatory evidence, from _Paradise Lost,_ to _Making a Murderer,_ and now _Demons and Saviours._ They also portray things in a biased and non-objective way. I think it's a real shame because these stories are all interesting anyway and the filmmakers are talented. But turning the doco into a movement for vindication adds another layer of drama and gives the filmmakers access to the subjects they probably wouldn't get otherwise.
I don't see how. I don't think anyone who watches thinks she was completely innocent. They just feel she has already served her time. And that her and David's sentences should be switched.
Some people manage to encounter so much trouble in their lives for a reason. Being naturally impulsive and lacking insight is a recipe for disaster. They can avoid flying phones, jumping lamps, and other misfortunes (they magically create for themselves) only for so long.
Universal healthcare may have prevented maybe not this death if there are criminal intentions to the child, but medical intervention via ambulance would reach so many children in the early hours of a medical emergency or sudden distressing changes in their motor, affect, etc. Even a fraction of abuse cases would still reach for medical care for a myriad of factors.
With,adoptive parents like that,it doesn't surprise me they raised a woman who would kill without feeling guilty about it. How these people ever became foster parents is beyond me. If your boyfriend has numerous incidents while they watched your child its time to get a new boyfriend. Or leave him. I think she is guilty.
& she had to notice the marks during bath time or changing. The police found bloody baby panties !! Like, girl you see your daughter is being abused and you allowed it. & most likely contributed & who knows what she let that nasty old p*rn man in the apartment do to Amber for money. Tina said she’s literally do anything for money smh that baby didn’t belong in that adult sex apartment. So sad
She didn't kill her. She has an air tight alibi for the six hours. You should investigate the case more. There is even Hulu series about it. She should have gotten his sentence and she should have gotten his.
I think she deserved prison time, but not life plus 20. Voluntary manslaughter in Georgia is supposed to be 20 years max. The child abuse would depend on what degree they charged her with, but the max would be another 20 years.

The boyfriend did 20 years in prison, so he didn't get away with it, he just got a lighter sentence. The conviction is forever on his record.

They didn't believe her when she said her brother molested her, but yet bought the Stephen King's 'Carrie' bit wholesale?
If they could have profited off the molestation, they would have.
1 thing Dr grande left out. Her brother went on to serve time for other sex crimes and eventually killed himself. I think in prison. I think the brother was the Resche's biological son so they did not want to believe he was a sexual predator in any way. Christina was just an adopted kid. But obviously the brother was a sexual predator if later on other women/girls also accused him of rape, molestation, etc
This story of the 40 year old cancer doctor in NYC who just killed her baby and herself is awful.😪
So very sad!
@@Lololeelee I just can’t wrap my head around killing a baby/children?! It is so sad!
@@mollycote1021they think she had ppd
@@tayba1316 I read they are coming out with an antidepressant specifically for PPD
@@tayba1316 I just watched a report on a news channel of a mother who took her own life just days after having her twins. Postpartum depression and psychosis is very real, and it is heartbreaking for all parties involved.
This is why I think that more should be done to prevent such tragedies from occurring. It is devastating to learn that another mother didn't get the help that she desperately needed. The symptoms are often overlooked and women are often shamed into believing that they have no right to seek help when they have 'baby blues'.
This made my blood boil. Both are evil and that innocent child didn't have a chance with these two devils
I remember watching this on "Unsolved Mysteries" when i was a kid.
Me too!!! Always creeped me out!!
Grande! Hope you had a nice weekend. Thank you for the time you put into these vids. You are the equivalent of a marathon runner. Videos nearly every day!
A poor little girl.
Always informative
Thank you
Peace 💕🇺🇲
I was born and grew up in Cincinnati, and my best advice is just stay far away (like 100’s of miles away). I live in Los Angeles now.
OHs beautiful and my fam in CA all want to move back👍🏻one bought a house here too
You’re wonderful Dr Grande. Off topic I loved your short with your beautiful wife❤-thank you for the case studies and your impeccable dry timing 😅
Sir you are a master at what you do , great job
My thoughts exactly while watching the docu-series. It doesn’t really matter that she might not have delivered the fatal blow because she was involved in felony child abuse.
OMG. The truth is stranger than fiction.. Thank you Dr. Grande for guiding us through the darkness.
Some people shouldn’t have kids in anyway.
That poor little girl 😔
I can never understand how murderers are given plea deals and a chance of parole there.
If criminals that are about to be caught, would not have hope left once caught, a lot of them would kill and kill and kill, just to stay free. No extra murder would make a difference to their fate, unless they manage to escape, so extra murders only increase their chances of happiness. So it is dangerous for society to have laws that puts criminals in that position.
That and sometimes the state doesn't have a slam dunk case. A plea deal is a way to make sure a jury doesn't let them off easy. It also saves lots of public money. What makes me mad is when they have plenty of evidence but do a very lenient plea..
That poor little girl. This case is a very tricky one and the start of it all was the flying phone “powers” that Christine supposedly had. It seems to me that she just wanted attention and notoriety, but she ended up taking her life in a direction that completely wrecked it and ended up destroying her own daughter because of who Christine became involved with. I just don’t understand cases like this.
Christine’s adoptive parents should have NEVER let her go with the investigative team because it seems that it gave her leeway and complete independence that she was definitely not old enough to handle yet. She got a taste of that freedom and her life did nothing but go downhill after that. She has left a trail of destruction behind her that grows longer as she remains locked up in prison. Her family is forever broken and shamed by it all and that is why the destruction continues. What a VERY sad and tricky case.
She probably should have given her child up for adoption early on. Many factors nobody gets to control played a part in Christina Boyer's decision to keep Amber; and most of those factors were not in Amber's best interest. Christina Boyer was not aware she was doing the wrong thing by harming her child so badly.
Poor little child. Both guilty. Both should rot in prison. Thanks doc.
Good evening Dr Grande. Excellent analysis. As always I learn something new from your videos.
Have a great week.
You are a very good story teller,thanks,stay healthy!
They're both guilty, she shouldn't be let out, and he never should have been either
I think she should be out already. But he definitely should've never been able to leave😒
Your humor amuses me. Ever so gently worked in. 👍🏼
Your voice and manner of speaking are so relaxing. I wish you would do some for sleep videos like guided relaxation
Thanks again! I always enjoy your videos and appreciate the insight you bring to the matter at hand. You're quite helpful in keeping one up to date on important current affairs. Your wry wit is a delightful bonus! Congratulations on your wedding anniversary and thanks for sharing a peek into your personal life!
Could you analyze the case of Charles Cullen? Just saw the movie The Good Nurse and the case is crazy and complex. You never fail to produce insightful videos even when it comes to cases that seem to crazy to be true
I listened to that audiobook and it’s astonishing how much he got away with and for how long.
Yes, that's an interesting case. He got away with it for so long, hopping from hospital to hospital. I work at the same hospital he did in NJ. Even all these years later, it's still talked about. Spooky..
Exactly. The people who knew that he murdered patients and pushed him along to another hospital are just as bad as him.
@@elizabethhamm5320 Yes, they knew, but just let him go because they didn't want the bad publicity for their hospitals. Hospital administration is worse than politics, because nobody's there to 'check' them.
Greetings Dr. Grande. I could live the rest of my life without cases involving children and unfit parents, except for your presence and your variety of content videos.
Thank you.
Doesnt matter who did the fatal blow. She contributed it and you always bear more responsibility for the wellfare of your own child.
Yes!
Totally agree. That monster is right where she needs to be.
Well, it matters who delivered the fatal blow because the boyfriend was allowed to get out of prison after 20 years. He should be there for life if he delivered the blow, which I think he did. Let's also not forget that abused women will often cover for their abusers and can be afraid to leave.
@@KatieBellino Oh for god sakes, stop making excuses for a child abuser.
There's always someone. No wonder some men get jaded.
@It-is-me...Melsie Seems like you're the one making excuses for a child abuser. Law enforcement suspects that the boyfriend delivered the fatal blow given Amber had been in his care for like 6 hours and her injuries would only take 15-30 minutes to cause symptoms. He hardly would have a right to feel jaded.
I literally finished the documentary this morning and when I saw the videos of her taking that little girl to a man’s house that videotaped their adult activities and Amber being present at the time floored me. Amber appears in the videos, walking around, jumping on the bed. Up until that point I could sort of be on her side…albeit with the teensiest thread of sympathy. But seeing that and how she interacted with that child during the “adult activities” time I believe wholeheartedly she is a sociopath and a cold, calloused human being. She knew full well what was going on with that child. She was part of the abu*e and left that baby with the other person involved in the abu*e.
I'm so glad you are doing a story on this. I was trying to watch the program on Hulu but it sounded too much like, "The Devil Made Me Do It."
Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande!
A sad and unusual case; thanks, as always, Dr. Grande!
Excellent as always, this case is absolutely unbelievable. The lengths some will go to to deceive and manipulate will never cease to amaze me!
Hope you had a lovely anniversary 😊
Those who believe in Telekinesis, raise my hand
Lol
Got you to type this didn’t I? 😏
Why does this comment not have more likes
👏👏👏👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣👵🇦🇺
Always makes me a rad suspicious when people contact newspapers about things instead of appropriate authorities. As for being guilty regarding her child? That’s it! Two words ! ‘Her child’. She is responsible , she left her child there m it can’t have Ben jsut one of them. If it was, she’s guilty of leaving her child in danger. And she rings someone else instead of 000. Pathetic and it sounds guilty. Whatever, a child is dead because of her actions. Poor, dear child 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
I can't imagine inviting a client to live with me and work for me. There a code of ethics in the early 90's.
Christina pulling over on the way to the hospital is a clear indicator. She was worried about herself that would do it for me that would be enough to convict right there.
How does Dr. Grande find these cases.... unbelievable but he always breaks it down the best way possible. Thank you Mr Grande !
This case was on "Unsolved Mysteries" back in the day.
There is a 3 part Hulu series just released
Scottish Lordes can find anything!
Not taking away from Dr Grande, but a lot of people dont realize the importance and benefits of having a community. If he is ever unsure what to cover next, he just has to listen to his comments/suggestions for wild or obscure cases.
And in this case, it was probly the recent series on it that made him cover it
It's really amazing and scary that millions of people believe in supernatural powers
The issue is that they're very hard to disprove.
Interesting thumbnail choice for this case Dr. Grande
I think David did it. She probably spanked and was mean to her daughter, but the boyfriend was the one who beat her to death. It's messed up that he was released at all.
That's my feeling too. I think the prison sentences were backwards. Christina likely needed 20 years for cruelty to a child and David should still be in prison.
Both. Never leave your child with a boyfriend.
@@hhealy7199 By that token, never leave your child with a babysitter either.
Maybe she'll screw up in prison with her special powers and electrocute her own self.
The smug Georgetown students in the documentary questioning the authorities with YEARS of experience was laughable. I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes at them.
Seriously though, they were awful. It’s crazy they didn’t realize how wrong they were.
@@katherinehollingsworth3767how? They only asked him one question 🙄 and it was about statements he made. In the past he is blaming the man for her death but at her parole statements all the sudden there is no doubt in his mind she was 100% responsible. She should have gotten his sentence and he should be serving for murder. Mod mentally really clogs ppl assessments of situations.
They asked good questions. Years of experience doesn't always mean someone is correct. Ppl make mistakes. Ever heard of a book called Lucky by Alice Sebold. Those ppl swore up and down they got it right surprise when DNA completely exonerated him years later. Ever heard of the Innocence project? Years of experience doesn't not mean you always get things right. They asked good questions. Even the old D.A. admitted they did, and made him think.
Thank you Dr. Grande for your great work!
How does Anyone that hurts a Child get Released??
What a strange & sad case📞🔌Funny quips, great analysis again. Thanks Dr G😊🤍🤍
Zena! 👋❤ Glad I found you! 🥰 I just saw your comment from before. Sorry to hear about the accident. How are your wrist and back? I hope it's not serious.

Whether she killed her child or the guy did, either way she is responsible for the child's demise. Her punishment is deserved for putting her child in that situation and state.
Dr Grande, when I heard you say, "The ability to convert emotions into electricity would be quite convenient these days".... I laughed so hard...then I got the giggles... then when I thought I could take you off pause.. I would start laughing again... then I would try to carry on... I got the giggles like I used to in grade school. When you know you are going to get sent to the principal's office if you don't control your "emotions". 🤣 After about a straight 7+ minutes of giggling, I felt so happy, and realized what a fabulous therapist you are. 🤯🫶😆 Just what I needed was a good dose of true crime & laughter. You're the best Dr Grande! Love these cases that you find that kind of fly under the radar. Thanks!
Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about what could be happening when a poltergeist frames a young woman for murder like this.
Dr Grande liked my comment! IT'S OFFICIAL. SENPAI NOTICED ME! 😃🦓😃
The poletergeist was convicted and received an afterlife sentence.
👏😉
🔥 yesssss. You’re the best to do it !
I love your style, very calming and rational! You were recommended by Observe. I subscribed!
Wow, if juror really said didn’t convict him of murder because it was t his child? So can kill a child but not murder if not your child?! Just, wow
How are some people able to manipulate so easily? This woman is manipulating so-called professionals from prison.
The cases with children are always a hard watch. Breaks my heart 💔💔
idk y he got less time when it even seems more likely he killed her.
Thanks!
There’s nights that I feel so guilty for being snippy with my daughter. I have days when I’m overwhelmed with work, house, childcare, bills and having some heart issues, and nights I don’t sleep well. I feel so awful sometimes for feeling like there’s days when we didn’t go out to do something or because I was distracted or was snippy with her. I cannot believe someone would willingly hurt their own child. It’s genuinely beyond anything I could ever imagine. That poor girls entire existence must’ve been horrible.
Thanks good one Dr. Grande! 😊
Please cover the Sylvia Likens case. I would love to see your evaluation of it.
I love to come here and see your take on it because you state the facts. I knew I smelled a stinker when I saw the preview for the documentary. I think: she is a child that incurred something at a young age (my aunt was a foster parent) because even before 2 yrs. of age it can imprint on a child - so I think she is covert narcissist because of the manipulation. And need for attention. And she is getting a lot because of the doc so even if she doesn't get out she is still having a high time just because a movie is being made about her. It's atrocious. Poor Amber. ❤
Regarding the little girl walking in on her adult filming, my understanding is that according to law, that constitutes (loosely speaking) 'underage porn', even though she (thankfully!) wasn't an active participant. Although that could be seen as something of an accident without malicious intent, said section of the video should have been immediately deleted, never mentioned and steps should have been taken to see that never happened again.
Yep ! & she only had a diaper on 😳 who knows what Tina allowed that nasty old man to do for money
No, because then they'd be seen as covering/hiding evidence of a crime, which would only stoke the flames when it came to light.
Hard to believe that David was acquitted.
Christina set a poor example to her man by battering her child in front of him. He may have felt it was OK to treat Amber harshly as well. Statistically the boyfriend/stepfather is often responsible for injuries to the woman's children.
Yippee. I needed Dr G to talk murder me to sleep 💤❤
They both have no business being around children. 😢
There's a long tradition of crime documentaries that omit inculpatory evidence, from _Paradise Lost,_ to _Making a Murderer,_ and now _Demons and Saviours._ They also portray things in a biased and non-objective way. I think it's a real shame because these stories are all interesting anyway and the filmmakers are talented. But turning the doco into a movement for vindication adds another layer of drama and gives the filmmakers access to the subjects they probably wouldn't get otherwise.
I don't see how. I don't think anyone who watches thinks she was completely innocent. They just feel she has already served her time. And that her and David's sentences should be switched.
Some people manage to encounter so much trouble in their lives for a reason. Being naturally impulsive and lacking insight is a recipe for disaster. They can avoid flying phones, jumping lamps, and other misfortunes (they magically create for themselves) only for so long.
that poor Baby Girl..
I enjoy your subtle humor.
Universal healthcare may have prevented maybe not this death if there are criminal intentions to the child, but medical intervention via ambulance would reach so many children in the early hours of a medical emergency or sudden distressing changes in their motor, affect, etc. Even a fraction of abuse cases would still reach for medical care for a myriad of factors.
With,adoptive parents like that,it doesn't surprise me they raised a woman who would kill without feeling guilty about it.
How these people ever became foster parents is beyond me.
If your boyfriend has numerous incidents while they watched your child its time to get a new boyfriend.
Or leave him.
I think she is guilty.
& she had to notice the marks during bath time or changing. The police found bloody baby panties !! Like, girl you see your daughter is being abused and you allowed it. & most likely contributed & who knows what she let that nasty old p*rn man in the apartment do to Amber for money.
Tina said she’s literally do anything for money smh that baby didn’t belong in that adult sex apartment. So sad
She didn't kill her. She has an air tight alibi for the six hours. You should investigate the case more. There is even Hulu series about it. She should have gotten his sentence and she should have gotten his.
I had a phone once that could project your voice to other phones. Come to think of it, it wasn’t all that special.
😂
The abuse here is obscene. This woman should stay in prison for the rest of her life.
This Precious, Defenseless Little Baby! My heart hurts for her!🥀🥀🥀💔💔💔🧸🧸🧸🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
I don't care if she could walk through walls. She abused that baby and deserves prison.
I think she deserved prison time, but not life plus 20. Voluntary manslaughter in Georgia is supposed to be 20 years max. The child abuse would depend on what degree they charged her with, but the max would be another 20 years.
If she could walk through walls, what would prison do to punish her?
A sad case. But as usual good analysis and presentation by Dr. Grande!
We also have no idea what hereditary issues may be involved
Like?
I remember this being on Unsolved Mysteries. I was REALLY shocked to hear that she'd murdered her 3 yr old.
